We would love to share with you a lovely story ‘Amazing Me, Amazing You’ by Christine McGuinness. This book was included in a recent PATHS lesson that our inclusive ambassador Monty brought for us to enjoy.
Promoting inclusivity in our centre creates an environment that celebrates diversity and means that every child that walks through our door feels welcome, safe, and valued. This supports our UNCRC focus of the month : Article 2 – “All children have these rights no matter what their differences are.” This means that every child is valued as an individual and encouraged to flourish. In the words of the wonderful author of our story Christine McGuinness; “Accepting that everyone is different is something to celebrate.”
By sharing inclusive lessons with our families we are ensuring that all children get to learn and play together, make friends, and feel like they belong. This promotes an understanding of every person within the world and introduces the children to building empathy and respect for every one around them. It also makes sure that every child gets the support they need to grow, learn, and be happy. By including everyone, we are instilling the early values to creating a kind and fair world where all children have the chance to shine!
